More nonsense about privatising education

'With Abbott gone the far right wing of the Liberal Party is now in decline'

Yeah sure it is..... Abbott himself has said nothing has changed with a new leadership in place and for once he is right. This twaddle from the new lacklustre Federal Treasurer is a case in point. Below is an extract from today's Guardian.

State governments are being encouraged to open up the delivery of health and education services to the private sector.

The push for more competition was recommended by the Harper Review, which will be put before state and territory treasurers at their next meeting, scheduled for later this month.

The federal treasurer, Scott Morrison, told News Corp Australia ( their official propaganda machine) on Saturday the review highlighted a number of areas overseen by the states “where they thought things could be done a lot better”.

The finance minister, Mathias Cormann, said the idea would include a diversity of providers competing with each other to deliver better services, both in terms of quality and cost.

“That is of course good for patients and it is good for our country as a whole,” he told Sky News, specifically on health care.
